hey. i have created my own website in frontpage 2003 and i added a video in .swf format. it plays ok and all the stuff. howvever, it behaves differently in IE than in Mozzila. more details bellow
the HTML of said video is this
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240" id="player1" align="middle"> <param name="movie" value="razor_test.swf"/> <param name="quality" value="High"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/> <param name="play" value="false"> <param name="loop" value="false"> <noscript><a href="http://newfreescreensavers.com/download-free-screensavers.html">screensavers free</a></noscript> <embed src="razor_test.swf" menu="true" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="320" height="240" name="player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/> </object>
in IE it works like a charm. does not auto play, does not loop and waits for me to right click on it to play/loop
in mozzila it does autoplay, it does loop, unless the user right cliks it to stop auto play and loop. it starts as soon as the page finishes loading.'bold text'
mozzila also seems to be unable to play bacground sounds from webpages, and IE can.
the HTML of said video is this

Your EMBED code doesn't have the play and loop parameters (not sure if embed support those).
Maybe use an object instead for Firefox.

You need to use an object instead:
<object data="music.mp3" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="0" height="0"><param name="filename" value="music.mp3"> <param name="autostart" value="1"> </object>
Or:
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="file.mp3" height="0" width="0" autostart="1"> <noembed><bgsound src="file.mp3" loop=-1></noembed>Read this answer in context 👍 0
